Cheesy Baked Tennessee Onions (Printable Version)
# What You’ll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
3-4 sweet Vidalia onions, skinned and cut into round slices 1/4-inch thick, keeping the rings whole
02 -
4 tbsp cold unsalted butter, divided into 8 equal pieces
→ Seasonings
03 -
1 tsp salt
04 -
1 tsp garlic powder
05 -
1/2 tsp oregano, dried
→ Cheese Blend
06 -
1 cup finely grated Italian cheese mix (combining Provolone, Asiago, Romano, Parmesan, and Mozzarella)
07 -
1 cup finely grated cheddar cheese
08 -
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F. Make sure the rack sits in the middle. Spray a 9×13-inch baking dish lightly with cooking spray so food won't stick and cleanup will be easier.
02 -
Slice your Vidalia onions crosswise into 1/4-inch circles, being careful to keep the rings together. Spread them across the bottom of your greased dish. Dust evenly with oregano, garlic powder, and salt.
03 -
Scatter the butter pieces across your seasoned onions so they'll melt evenly throughout. Sprinkle your cheddar and Italian cheese blend over everything, then finish with a layer of Parmesan on top.
04 -
Stick your dish in the oven for about 35-40 minutes. You'll know it's done when the cheese turns bubbly and golden brown, and you can easily pierce the onions with a fork.
05 -
Take it out and let it sit for a few minutes before you serve it warm.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Sweet onions like Vidalia work best in this dish as they get really sweet and soft when baked.
